If you want to do this cheap, buy assorted Styrofoam balls-tops to most pieces. BK Crowns-Rook top, Cheap dowels-center core to support top and provide stability,plastic plates for a base- drill through them to insert the dowel. and use paper for the sides. for a crown, knights head, and other parts, buy thick sheets of styrofooam and carve appropriately.

For the board you can use cheap plates of two colors or the foam mats that they put in day cares that look like big puzzle pieces.

It will be work but will cost~$80 if materials are cheap and not wasted. Recycle for more savings.
